Deliciously fresh asparagus and creamy cheese tart celebrates the flavors of Spring beautifully.
Ingredients:
  • 300g reduced-fat ricotta cheese
  • 100g low-fat feta, crumbled
  • 2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon thyme leaves
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 400g asparagus
  • 2 sheets ready-rolled puff pastry, partially thawed
  • 41.20 gm milk
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 5.90 gm dijon mustard
  • 31.50 gm lemon juice
  • Baby rocket, to serve
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced) and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
  • Mix together creamy ricotta cheese, tangy feta cheese, zesty lemon rind, fragrant thyme, and savory onion in a bowl. Add a sprinkle of pepper to season.
  • Boil asparagus in a saucepan until tender, then drain.
  • Lay out the pastry on the trays. Smooth ricotta mixture onto the pastry, keeping a 2cm border. Add asparagus on top. Fold the edges of the pastry up and brush with milk. Bake for 30 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  • In a screw-top jar, combine basil, mustard, lemon juice, and oil. Shake well to blend the flavors perfectly.
  • Cut each tart into quarters, then generously drizzle with the aromatic basil mixture before elegantly plating alongside fresh rocket and lemon wedges.
